Goal: Lose baby weight + 30 lbs
Achieved so far: Baby weight is gone!
Pre-pregnancy weight: 221.0
Weight last week: 204.4
Current weight: 202.8
Weight loss/gain since last week: -1.6
TOTAL WEIGHT LOST (not including baby weight): -18.2
I am pleasantly surprised with this weeks weigh in, considering how bad I ate this weekend. I am talking a burger, onion rings, ice cream, AND pizza, and that was just SATURDAY!
Will my weight EVER start with a 1 ??????? I am really going to work hard this week to get there!
Even though I pigged out on Saturday, I have started taking some medication that makes me not really feel like eating so I am struggling a bit lately with making myself eat. I had a few days last week where it was dinner time before I felt like I could eat. I need to do breakfast, lunch, and dinner this week!
*SOFTBALL NEWS*
Softball was fantastic on Friday. My new teammates are really nice. The coach is nice, too. I was 2 for 3. Two singles, one pop fly, 2 RBI's. I could definitely feel a major improvement in my swing and I know it is because I have been working out my arms. I played left, first, and catcher. We lost in the last inning 7-6.
I had a huge cheering section thanks to my honey, the Carders, and Stacy. It was so nice to look out and see friendly faces. I am excited about this weeks game already.
*RUNNING UPDATE*
After sprinting around the bases Friday and feeling no discomfort whatsoever, I decided to try the ol' legs out yesterday afternoon. I took a few moments to warm up and stretch before hand. They felt really good for the first 10-15 minutes or so and then it was all downhill. Instead of just my left leg it is now both legs, although the pain isn't as bad. I had to walk the last mile or so. I stretched when I got home, iced them and took some ibuprofen. I am going to have to rest another week I think. Good thing I got, and enjoy, the Total Gym 1000. Thanks again Court and Allen!
*From Running to Training*
Way to go on completing Week One of your training! Anyone who hasn't started yet is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to get off you bum and GET YOUR TRAIN ON!! :)
Remember, I update the results at the beginning of the following day and only three days a week count. Feel free to correct me if I don't have your progress right!
Week Two calls for FIVE REPS of three minutes of walking, two minutes of jogging. Get THREE DAYS in this week!
I just want to remind you that for our race in July we will be doing one minute jogging, two minutes walking. SO, if you follow this training you will be a PRO by race day!
Challenge:
The Pendulum
Lie on back, arms in a T, legs straight up (I have to bend my knees), feet together, toes pointed or flexed.
Slowly lower legs (or knees) several inches to the left without touching the floor.
Return to start.
Repeat to right for one rep

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to being in the 100's! I'm stinkin' proud of you! If only you could see the grin on my face. I'm excited about your progress!
It's a holiday, it's okay to pig out once in a while. Remember, it's a lifestyle change. Ocassional bumps are to be expected. And, psssh, that bump on Saturday still didn't slow down your weight loss!
I'm THRILLED to hear about softball! I so so so wish I could have been there to cheer you on. Or even play myself! It's incredible, isn't it, that your exercises have actually improved your game? Age has nothing on you! LOL. Seriously though, so glad you had a blast! Looking forward to hearing about your victory over your next game!
Don't overwork yourself or get too eager to start running again. I don't want you to injure yourself and prolong your progress.
I know I've already said this, but the training has already impacted me in several positive ways. I feel better about myself. I start the day off right by running in the morning. I'm not so tired throughout the day. Etc. Etc. Thanks for your encouragement!
With that said, with Michael's new job this week and a new morning routine with shower schedules and Jakob time, I pushed snooze on my already-too-early alarm clock and slept during my run time. But, I'm determined to make up for it tomorrow morning.
Well, now you and I weigh EXACTLY the same amount. Last Thursday when I weighed in I was at 203.5 and I weighed myself on the same scale this morning and was 202. I did my running on Saturday and also got a great work out thanks to some landscaping we've been putting off.
I'm glad things went wonderfully for you at softball! Just remember to be good to those legs for a while, slowly add them into your workout! I hope your holiday weekend was wonderful, keep up the awesome work!!
You will see the 100's very soon. Keep up the good work!!!
I ran/walked 3 miles on the treadmill Saturday 3/24- 51.30 minutes.
Leigh - It makes me feel good to know that you are feeling good :) Keep up the good work and I so look forward to giving you a hug in July!
Cheri - Congrats on the weight loss! Maybe we'll both go into the 100's together :)
Rena - Way to go on the work out schedule! You are killin' it!
Hey, Im getting my run in right after this.
Hey Michelle, ONEderland will be here before you know it and I can't wait to share the excitment with you when it does happen.
Take it easy on the legs as you don't want to ruin any progress you have already made.
Great Job as always..
